From the fumblerooski to baseball’s famous hidden ball trick, trick play has long been a part of sports. Let’s face it, these are just games after all… So needless to say, I was very disturbed when I saw this in the AP: Chivas defender Hector Reynoso has been suspended from the Copa Libertadores for pretending […]
It hasn’t been an easy year for Cynthia Brooks. First, her mother passed away. Then, her marriage disintegrated due to her husband’s rampant addiction to fantasy sports. And finally, she had to deal with the embarrassment of explaining to the neighbors why Norm was sleeping on the porch and peeing in their bushes. But she […]
Being a distinguished gynecologist, one of the best parts of the job is when I get to meet other passionate obstetricians from around the nation. There’s Dr. Pagliano from Green Bay, who performs with more intensity than even the great Brett Favre. There’s Dr. Sedgewick from Denver, who’s been known to do the “Mile High […]
As a man who respects a bit of freestylin’, from Method Man to Muhammad Ali, I take note when someone makes their point in verse. So when I heard Floyd Mayweather, Sr. make some bold predictions last week, I called my boys in Vegas and bet the farm on Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton. No one […]
Weird things happen when you stop smoking weed. Bad movies seem, well, bad. Cypress Hill loses a bit of its luster. And when I quit the green, I was so outta wack that I didn’t visit a stripper for a week and a half. So after Percy Harvin’s positive drug test at the NFL combine, […]
In our greater aim to provide the most interesting coverage on the sports world, the Global Sports Fraternity is happy to announce our partnership with F Juice, a site that shares our love of the game and provides some of the best NFL content around. Together, we promise to pounce on stories with the speed […]
Unlike the rest of Philadelphia, I’m not bouncing off the walls about all the talent that the Eagles got throughout the draft, especially the Eagles’ second round selection, RB LeSean McCoy. Now this is nothing personal against LeSean, but as the best pass-catching back available in the draft, his entrance clearly signals the end is […]
For a talent evaluator like myself, I start licking my chops when the NFL Draft comes around. And like me, some coaches and GM’s also thrive under the pressure, where you can simultaneously make or break a franchise with a single choice. It’s gotta be like Christmas for guys like Belichick and Andy Reid, spending […]
With the NFL Draft only days away, I’ve been surprised by the lack of conversation about players who have “character issues,” and Andre Smith running a shirtless 40 doesn’t count. Todd McShay and his finely coiffed friend, Mel Kiper, have been eerily quiet on the issue, which leads me to a personally troubling question: where […]
In the winter of 1989, when I was just a fresh face on the Philadelphia OBGYN scene, my nurses were completely unreliable. There was pressure coming at me from all angles, and I was constantly scrambling around the hospital. But when I interviewed Cecilia, who still serves as my Head Nurse to this day, I […]
For most of us, fantasy sports are a simple hobby — a fun way to keep in touch with friends, or maybe a reason to pay attention to that meaningless Bucs-Jaguars game. Taking a few minutes to check your lineup is nothing more than a welcome break from the rest of the daily grind, and […]
Next time give Jerry Jones a ring… I know times are tough, but does the Cowboy’s new stadium really need to open its doors for weddings? One thing’s for sure, if you get married in that craphole, don’t be calling me nine months later…
December 3rd, 1982. It was a cold day in the city of Brotherly Love, with blustering winds and frozen rain falling from the sky. It was also the state championship game between the Lakeshore Wildcats and Madison High. Lakeshore was down by 5, but they were driving deep into Madison’s territory, with only a few […]
Well, it’s now crystal clear why the City of Brotherly Love bid farewell to one of our favorite players earlier this off-season: B-Dawk wanted to speak his mind. And we all know that if you’re an Eagles employee, and have anything controversial to say, you’ll disappear faster than a cheesesteak on Andy Reid’s plate. Thanks […]
With C.C. and Manny gracing the covers of magazines everywhere, the Global Sports Fraternity sits down with its own Dr. Gerard Leavenworth, to talk about superstition and the pressure that comes with being featured on the front cover. In today’s post-steroids baseball era, his words ring true. The game does go on. Hopefully with no […]
When my good friend Don over at With Malice suggested I get involved with the NBA’s Unsung Player Day this April 5th, I found myself thinking of only one guy: Mark “Mad Dog” Madsen. Why is he D-Good’s choice? It’s not because he’s a former Laker. And it’s not because he’s a brother who’s better […]
Colin Cowherd knows his shit. This morning, he reported that “a reliable source” had told him that Bus Cook was the chief architect of Jay Cutler’s lightning-fast trade to Chicago. Why? Because Cook knows his client, and like any good agent, he recognized that an unsigned Jay Cutler is a dangerous Jay Cutler. So he […]
Commissioner Goodell, the major networks, fans – everyone’s excited about the discussions taking place right now to expand the NFL season beyond sixteen games. But as my girl used to say — “keep yo dick in yo pants” — so let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. The collective bargaining agreement with the players’ union […]
Lately, it’s been open season on A-Rod. And he deserves most of it. That’s what you get for letting a Dominican penetrate your ass. But that’s no reason to come down on him about his recent photo shoot for Details Magazine. As something of an Adonis myself, I know why A-Rod posed for Details: because […]
Sitting in English class the other day, Mrs. Thompson had the audacity to yell at me for not doing my homework. After all I do for this school!? To make matters worse, the assignment was to write a report on a short story about a handicapped kid and his dumbass puppy. But instead of telling […]
